Your daddy used to drive 95 on 95

Where the drunken sailors fight

Gun was always at the side

Wiseguys and weasels used to run this whole damn town
N.C. I got beat so many times N.C. 'Til I learned to knock 'em down N.C. Now I'm made of steel and leather N.C Stitched with wires and screws N.C. Built a house at 19 N.C. Cause at 18 got the boot

So walk a mile in my shoes before you sing those blues

World      World      World

Bm      N.C.
World
Bm x4 [Verse 3] N.C. And no one came along to pick me up off the curb N.C. And how I wailed the whole way home to hear "I got what I deserved" N.C. See, I did what I had to do N.C. Seen some things I'll never tell N.C. I'll take it with me to my grave
        Bm
Cause I burned my life in hell

Play to kill, shoot to win
